Benefits of technology

[0018] e) identifying genes that are up regulated or down regulated in said experimental cells relative to said control cells.

Problems solved by technology

However, Masuda does not teach the use of Rab37 to target granules.
This approach however did not address questions such as which genes expressed in mast cells contribute to activation in response to IgE / antigen.

Abstract

A method of identifying genes involved in the regulated secretion of cells having secretory lysosomes comprising the steps of: a) exposing experimental cells to an activating agent; b) preparing RNA from said experimental cells at one or more activation phases; c) measuring the level of gene expression in the cells; d) comparing the levels of gene expression of said experimental cells to the level of gene expression in control cells that have not been exposed to an activating agent; e) identifying genes that are up regulated or down regulated in said experimental cells relative to said control cells.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0001] The invention relates to the field of cell biology, and inflammatory diseases and in particular to methods for identification and analysis of genes having modified expression in activated cells with secretory lysosomes. BACKGROUND INFORMATION [0002] Cells that contain secretory lysosomes are thought to play a central role in inflammatory and allergic reactions. Numerous cell types are known to have secretory lysosomes including mast cells, goblet cells, neutrophils, natural killer cells, basophils, eosinophils, melanocytes, dendritic cells, macrophages, B cells, osteoclasts and platelets. (Griffiths, (2002) Semin. Cell Dev. Biol. 13: 279-284). All of these cell types undergo activation and release of their secretory lysosomes upon presentation of an appropriate activating agent. As a result of becoming activated these cells are known to release potent inflammatory mediators such as histamine, proteases, chemotactic factors, cytokines and metabolite...
